So I restarted my journey on Feb 18th I had a great day I went to the gym and ran my fastest ever, at 8.1 mph on the treadmill for over a minute, then dropped it down to 7 mph for 1 mile and then cooled down with more walking.. 8.1 is my FASTEST speed ever on the treadmill, I was even able to talk during the time I was running! Wow! and to think way back I thought 4.1 was running! LOL! <BR>

Most of you know I have been on my weight loss journey for a little over 2 years now, and I've been successful but what you may not know is that I struggle and have issues just like everyone else. It's hard for me to share when I'm down, it's hard for me to reach out for help, I'd rather just put a smile on my face and pretend all is well. So much easier to encourage and support others than to ask for help or support and I know that needs to stop for me to be successful. <BR>
